Hey everyone,
I am currently conducting a research on the amidation (through acid chloride intermediate) of 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. For this I added 4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid into dichloromethane (solvent) together with dimethylformamide (catalyst) before adding thionyl chloride. The attachment contains the TLC (2:1, methanol:n-hexane and alluminium-backed silica plates, visualised with 254nm UV light, acid chloride was first reacted with methanol to form the stable ester) results of the reaction progression as monitored over 30 minutes after the addition of the thionyl chloride. I was wondering what the structures at the 'dot-spot' are as they are quite intense and seem to be extremely polar. I was thinking it would be thionyl chloride or one of its products but was unable to find any literature on it. The same goes for the upper spot, would this be the ester?
Thank you so much for your help in advance!

As I mentioned in another post of mine, I get very over-paranoid thanks to my OCD but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

The spray itself was a generic Walmart brand version of Lysol, but still, it has been labeled as "flammable", do not expose above 130 F or under heavy pressure and etc.

So I was attempting to kill a couple house flies, and accidently got some into the window AC unit since they were flying around it, I wouldn't just up and say it's a "puny nearly non-existent amount", I immediately stopped but still - there was enough amount of that went it through the vents and stuff to make me concerned.

The AC wasn't on but still, but I don't wanna turn my unit on anymore, I'm kinda of afraid some of it may cause something within the unit itself, maybe the compressor or the condenser to cause a fire.

My AC unit's an old General Electric, so I'm not really familiar with the inner workings of an AC unit to cough off an answer myself.

Thanks in advance.

It's understandable to be concerned about your AC unit after accidentally spraying it with a flammable substance. While it's good to be cautious, the best course of action is to get a professional AC repair service to inspect your unit. They can check for any potential issues and ensure it's safe to use. An AC Repair expert can give you peace of mind and address any problems that might arise from the spray exposure.

LMFAO this was taken from deep in the mines by this bot.

How does anyone make money programming bots to troll forums these days. Reddit or twitter I get, but what money is there to be had here?

Because of the octest rule?

Guess: The only factors at play here are the nuclear charge which without slater's rules we only use a Z_eff estimate play a constant rate increasing effect going across the column left to right.

If the atomic radius isn't dropping as heavily as atomic number increases across a period, the only possibility is the shielding is increasing across the period. But that's a contradiction because you inner shell isn't changing across the same period.

 Why is the slope in order of smallest to 1. largest main group (1-2), 2. transition metals, 3. main groups 13-18?
